"It was a surgical dismantling of Reyes, who failed to land a punch. He controlled the cage, controlled the pace, saw his opportunity and took it in devastating fashion. Your move Dana. Next week before we see Ankalaev vs. Pereira 2, Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Roundtree will meet as the four-way battle to be the next man up comes to a crescendo. And Ulberg plans to be there too."
"After running into losses against division stalwarts Anthony Smith and Jamahal Hill, Crute's star faded quickly, after a pair of fights with Alonzo Menifield. After the second fight -- a defeat in Las Vegas -- Crute laid down his gloves and seemingly left the octagon for good. Nearly two years away from the sport saw Crute change a lot. He found religion, become a devout Christian, and used his new-found spirituality as a springboard for a return."
Carlos Ulberg produced a stunning, brutal first-round knockout of Dominick Reyes, decisively answering questions about his title potential. Reyes failed to land a punch as Ulberg controlled the cage, the pace, and finished the fight in devastating fashion. Ulberg's confidence and unbeaten recent form position him among contenders as eliminator matchups build toward Ankalaev vs. Pereira 2. Jimmy Crute continued a personal redemption arc after early hype, setbacks against top opponents, a two-fight stretch with Alonzo Menifield, a break following a Las Vegas defeat, and a near two-year hiatus during which he embraced Christianity and rebuilt himself for a return. The Perth card featured multiple local fighters electrifying the RAC Arena crowd.
